Buzz Pro Powerizer Batteries Rattle + Electrical Tape

[Robotfactory]

Just got my Buzz Pro yesterday, diggin it so far. The button is going to have to grow on me, it is my only minor gripe. I am use to, and more comforetable with a large more robust button, but I am sure the buzz button with grow on me.

I am curious if anyone else has notied the powerizer batteries rattling a bit in the buzz pro. I cannot stand hearing/feeling batteries move inside of my PV (the epower 18650 rattles a ton). I wrapped some electrical tape around each battery to make its circumference a bit larger. This has completely stopped the rattle. I am happy.

My question is, has anyone else done this? And would this be accepted as safe?

You probably will get used to the button size pretty easily, I've had an Infinity and now a BP and the buttons tend to work fine, consistently, you don't even notice what size they are pretty quickly.
I didn't use tape, but on the Infinity I had used a slip of paper in the tube. A small piece of electrical tape should be absolutely fine, safe. Good idea

That little button seems strange at first but it is attached to a very good little switch.That switch is rated for 1,000,000,000 cycles. It should last a really long time.
Another thing you can try to stop the battery rattle is to cut a piece of plastic out of the side of a milk carton that is the right size to roll up and slide into the battery tube. It will spring open flat against the walls and act as a liner/ shim. I used to do that to my home made copper pipe mods.

The Powerizer batteries do bounce around a bit in mine as well. The electrical tape is a good idea, I think I'll do that as well.

Thers should be no problem at all with using the tape. Ive had labels (very similar to electrical tape) on mine to number them for months.

Get something like this and stick io on over your button

Those should keep the belly button lint out. Do they hurt when you remove them?

 

[mistinthewoods]

You have to do it real fast and it stings like hell.

I'm too hairy for an airtight seal so it would be pointless anyways.

 

[mistinthewoods]

They'd probably keep the lint out of your belly button though.........

Maybe we should line up some field testers to be sure.

I made a tube for my batteries with a 20ml bottles cut end off then down the middle cut to fit batteries tape end. Fits 18650, 5 volt NIMH, and stacked RCR's no movement. Good luck

If I removed the lint from my belly button, no telling what else may be hiding in there!

[Bovinia]

I think I'd know if Hoffa was hiding in there!!

 

[Vermonster13]

Tell the truth did you know him or do a Google image search?

 

[Bovinia]

Neither! I right clicked the pic for the image info The face was familiar but I would not have remembered the name on my own.

+10 for honesty, -5 for not knowing Jimmy. LOL You're still 5 ahead of the game. There may even be prizes, you never know.

 

[Bovinia]

Well I believe in honesty, but I'll leave my feelings about unions personal

Smart cow.
